I still don't have the Loads of Love Accessories set, so you'll just have to imagine that the glare of the sun on the snow is preventing you from seeing the driver, okay? I painted the truck with my Watercolor Wonder crayons and Aquapainter, then cut it out. I stamped a tree on Confetti White card stock, then used my Coluzzle Companion to cut it out, allowing the tip of the tree to break the circle for more visual interest. I used a torn strip of plainer designer paper to make a road with snow on the edge, and I raised my truck with dimensionals. The truck and tree image was matted in Real Red, punched with a Marvy Giga Scalloped Circle punch. The "wishing you" was cut out with SU's word window punch. Embellishments were simply a red mini brad and some very narrow white organdy (non-SU). One of the things like I like most about using printed papers is the ability to sand its edges for the look of one extra layer of depth, Got to love that Blitzen; the worn stripe just reminded me of the paint on an old farm truck!

*drooling* I so love your card! Now I know what to do with my beloved Basic Grey collection. I am afraid to cut them up, I just pet them and admire them. You are now making me muster up some courage to cut up my Basic Grey Blitizen line! Thanks!

Love it! What a fabulous card! I can't buy enough of that Basic Grey paper! It's awesome! Throw some Dazz. Diamonds on that window and you really will have a 'snowy glare'!
